We don’t need to add anything to .js files if we can write a table
containing the relative paths to all scripts and their licenses.

Here is an example:

    http://guix.mdc-berlin.de/javascript

A link to this table must be placed on all pages that load the scripts
(it would be enough to modify the page template).  I’d begin by
collecting information for all scripts under /static/js and then
annotate all inline scripts with two-line license comments.

I don’t think I ever got access to hydra.gnu.org; I volunteer to make
the required changes (I’ve done this before for rcas.mdc-berlin.de and
guix.mdc-berlin.de).
